Monday afternoon
We made deer.
Actually, the Oglet and I prepped deer sunday- we took 2″ thick chunks of backstrap, and wrapped them in strips of bacon, and sprinkled on a pinch of Kosher salt, on each side. Very simple.
Here they are on the grill. Picture courtesy of Partner.
Took three leftovers to work, and one of the women in the office whined about killing Bambi.
If I had given her a bite of one, she would have knifed me for the rest.

Makes me want venison and I have not had any since breakfast.
Oh man, I’m drooling now. So unattractive.
We can’t let it get to deer season without you visiting Leniswalde for reconnaisance purposes.
In upcoming weeks, we will definitely do that, N5.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Venison done right!!!!
Tell her Bambi was a fictional character in an animated movie and cannot be kilt…
To bad….
You know the field where you shot one 2 years ago is back in corn and I’m sure those Bambi’s will be back as well. You’re welcome to come back and shoot another.
As for your friend and her reference to Bambi, remind her we think of them as “Field Rats”…
All The Best,

I’m just going to go quietly weep in a corner now….
Can I have a lick of the grease.
THAT, my friend, is the ONLY way to enjoy venison tenderloins. Even better if you have some fresh, buttery morels on the side.
Nice!
Vegetables are what food eats.
Oh…my…god. Must eat. I’m not a hunter — guess it’s not in my nature — but I’ve long suspected that venison tenderloin must be an amazing thing. And wrapped in bacon? Oh dear.
You wrapped them in Bacon? Is that even legal?
Danimal, good venison has the texture of fine beef, and it’s extraordinarily lean, plus the flavor is like nothing you’ve ever tasted- think prime rib with a sort of an inherent sort of smokey flavor, with undertones of roasted grains.
Bacon is part of your nutritious breakfast!
it’s probably not kosher, though.
Those looked killer. Please explain to your coworker that it wasn’t Bambi, it was Bambi’s mom, that got whacked. Any survivor of a divorce will appreciate that fact. And dig in.
That looks absolutely Lekker!
Reminds me I must get me some springbuck or blesbok.
Ooh, I bet Springbuck backstrap medallions would be AMAZING.
Damn, I wish I was in Africa.
